Make sure that all of your notes are in the the correct folder in each device.


In the notes app you have two shorts of notes folders


'ICLOUD' Notes


and


'ON MY IPHONE' Notes


You're going to want everything to be in iCloud folder


Open Notes> Click Menu icon> Click Select Notes...> Click Move All> Click Notes Folder


MAKE SURE YOUR MOVING THEM TO RGE ICLOUD NOTES FOLDER


Also after you should go into:

***iPhone SETTINGS> NOTES> Default Account> iCloud***


So all future notes will sync simultaneously. All your thoughts, on all your devices, all the time.
